It's a Thanksgiving tradition in my family to do a round at the dinner table with each person sharing what they are thankful for. While much of the space here is taken complaining and attacking others, I'd like to set aside this space to reflect on the reasons I continue to play. Here are some things I am thankful for in ESO.
Yesterday, DC looked like it got its priorities straight. Zone chat was markedly different in its tone and atmosphere. There was widespread communication and cooperation between groups, and old enemies publicly congratulated each other on their victories. I did not see a negative word said about anyone in zone for the several hours I was on, and there was no self-aggrandizement. I am thankful that it appears, for the time being at least, that our faction has pulled together, and it certainly paid off on the map.
I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to meet so many downright admirable people in my time playing. Despite the occasional troll, the overwhelming majority of players are helpful, supportive, and all-around nice human beings.
I am thankful for people who ride guars. Thank you for the entertainment value.
Thank you ,ZOS, for pocket mammoths.
I'm thankful for the cheeky dialogue in the questlines. ZOS has got some talented script writers.
I am thankful that we have an honest shot at winning this campaign. Keep up the good work DC!
And finally, although this list is nowhere near comprehensive, I am thankful for the occasional graphics glitches that allow players to run atop their mounts, ride through the ground, or levitate upside-down through battle. May ZOS never fix them.
